Circus Act were a 3 peice from Southampton who played their own style of rocking melodic hardcore. They were often compared to bands such as Hot Water Music, Fugazi and Braid although they didn't really sound like any of them. They released two CD's on Milliepeed records; "No History, No Consequences" and "This Is Your Destination", and most recently, "Sleepwalking the Tightrope" on Nothing to Prove Records, probably the best record of their career. They split up in 2007 causing universal distress and unhappiness.

After four years with Helloween, Kai Hansen decided to leave the band at the height of their career. He then went on to do some studio work with Blind Guardian. Kai and his friend Ralf Scheepers from Tyran' Pace decided to start a project. They recruited bassist Uwe Wessel and drummer Mathias Burchard. The resulting sound was very close to Helloween's power metal style.
